Ingredients

• 1 medium Cauliflower head
• 1 cup Chickpea flour
• 0.5 cup Rice flour
• 2 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Cumin powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Coriander powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 cup Water
• 0.25 cup Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Cut the cauliflower head into bite-sized florets and set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the chickpea flour, rice flour, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, cumin powder, coriander powder, and baking powder.

Step 4

Gradually add the water to the dry ingredients, whisking continuously to form a smooth batter. The batter should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.

Step 5

Dip each cauliflower floret into the batter, making sure it is fully coated. Allow any excess batter to drip off.

Step 6

Place the battered cauliflower florets onto the parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving some space between each piece.

Step 7

Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the coated cauliflower florets to help them crisp up in the oven.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cauliflower is golden brown and crispy, flipping once halfway through the cooking time.

Step 9

Once cooked, remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your low sodium crispy cauliflower fry as a snack or side dish!
